AB  - In this study, we examine microbial communities of early developmental stages of 
      the coral Porites astreoides by sequence analysis of cloned 16S rRNA genes, 
      terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP), and fluorescence in 
      situ hybridization (FISH) imaging. Bacteria are associated with the ectoderm 
      layer in newly released planula larvae, in 4-day-old planulae, and on the newly 
      forming mesenteries surrounding developing septa in juvenile polyps after 
      settlement. Roseobacter clade-associated (RCA) bacteria and Marinobacter sp. are 
      consistently detected in specimens of P. astreoides spanning three early 
      developmental stages, two locations in the Caribbean and 3 years of collection. 
      Multi-response permutation procedures analysis on the TRFLP results do not 
      support significant variation in the bacterial communities associated with P. 
      astreoides larvae across collection location, collection year or developmental 
      stage. The results are the first evidence of vertical transmission (from parent 
      to offspring) of bacteria in corals. The results also show that at least two 
      groups of bacterial taxa, the RCA bacteria and Marinobacter, are consistently 
      associated with juvenile P. astreoides against a complex background of microbial 
      associations, indicating that some components of the microbial community are 
      long-term associates of the corals and may impact host health and survival.
